Each year my kids get an ornament based on something they are really into that year. Sometimes we buy them an ornament but if one isn't available I break out my crafty ninja skills and make one. My son's Llama Llama book obsession led to the creation of this:

I painted the Llama Llama character on a black mini-canvas and then added some pretty ribbon as a hanger.

I just love your llama llama ornament and I love your idea even more. I know a lot of people who collect a yearly ornament for their kids, but the idea of painting something that your child is really interested in that year is one of the best I've ever heard. I'll be mentioning this to both my daughters for future use.
